Advice for Starting My 1 Month Old on Babywise

I read Babywise before I gave birth to my son and was sure that I could easily implement it right away. But, with family in town, the fact that he was growing so quickly (therefore seemed to need to eat every 2 hours sometimes), and I was HIGHLY emotional and had the "baby blues" I had such a hard time. After my family left, I began to work on "full feedings" and to try to make our time be 2 1/2 to 3 hours during the day. Sometimes he does well, but sometimes he doesn't.

Advice on Breaking Baby of Dependence on Swaddling

Hello, Helpful Moms. I have a wonderful 3-month old son who overall is a very good sleeper. My challenge is that he sleeps well only when tightly swaddled, but now that he is bigger and stronger, he breaks out of the swaddle too easily and wakes himself up. I am using the Swaddle-Me blankets with velcro fasteners and I swaddle him very tightly, but he can still get a hand or a foot out when he goes into the lighter sleep phase. Basically, the swaddling no longer works, and I am wondering if any of you have had experience with weening...
